AK to the lower 48 about $15. or so. I've sent a load of parts south over the past 3 years to guys who can't find things locally.
Today I managed to put on the Gibson exhaust system on lil Red. It is so quiet now, I'm almost disappointed. Once you rev it up, it brings back the sound. I can sure hear the exhaust leak where they cut the pipe to get the transmission out. It goes back next week and he's going to reweld the joints. That should make it as quiet as possible overall. I like the ease of the install, but not 100% sold on how they go over the rear axle. I'm more upset that I am having a hard time getting the spare tire back in the cradle. Oh well, there is always tomorrow for that one item. lol (Procrastinate much???).

Here is a couple pictures of the system on the truck. I'm sorry, but I'm not climbing under it again tonight so these will have to suffice for now. The clamps will all be taken off when it goes in for the weld up on the pipe. For now, they are just clamped.
Back when I did it the Walker clamps were too narrow and didn't do me any good, they sucked lol. But maybe they're better now or at least wide enough to achieve a good hold and actually seal.
